Meteorology MCQ — 52 Practice Questions with Answers

Explanation

The correct ordered record is 26 September 2024, followed by IITM Pune and NCMRWF Noida. The January 2025 date, the 23 September 2024 date, IMD Delhi, IIT Delhi and INCOIS Hyderabad are not the date-and-site combination stated for this Mission Mausam inauguration fact.

Explanation

The Assertion is true because the fact says Mission Mausam is designed for high-precision weather prediction. The Reason is also true because the same fact names advanced observation systems, high-performance computing, artificial intelligence and machine learning as the technologies to be integrated. That integration directly explains how the mission aims to improve prediction precision; the alternatives denying this link or denying either statement contradict the fact.

Explanation

The correct matching is: the number of real-time operational Doppler Weather Radars in the Western Himalayan Region was 10, and the reported station list included Leh, Banihal Top, Jammu and Srinagar. The count 12 is not the cited count, and the Shimla, Nainital, Dehradun and Dharamshala set is not the station set given in the sourced fact.

Explanation

The correct matching is blocks with nearly 7,000 and districts with 747. Nearly 6,000 understates the block coverage, 746 is a one-digit miss for the district count, and reversing 747 with nearly 7,000 confuses the unit assigned to each figure.

Explanation

Statement 1 is correct because the cited baseline was 43 RS/RW stations at end-2014. Statement 2 is correct because the end-2025 count was 56 RS/RW stations plus 62 pilot-balloon stations. Statement 3 is wrong because the source says the two categories coexisted at end-2025, not that pilot-balloon stations replaced RS/RW stations.
